I've upgraded (well, fresh installs) three different machines from 
FC3->FC4 lately, and I have the opposite opinion. FC4 was smoother (less 
problems) than any of the previous cores I've tried (FC1 was the first), 
on all my machines (one of which is a server/gateway running DNS, mail, 
DHCPD, databases, etc). Gnome is faster and cleaner, too ! The only 
thing that bothers me a bit is that the latest kernels have been buggy 
(for instance the CD/DVD insert=>panic problem on the latest update, and 
the one before that which wouldn't boot at all on my laptop).

GCC4 has given me less troubles than I would've ever imagined. For 
things that don't work with GCC4 yet, there's always compat-gcc-32.

I have no problem in recommending FC4 to anyone. Perhaps I've been 
lucky, who knows.
